1991 Yunzhou
That realm gate’s light curtain was clearly a faint layer, yet the current ripples made it seem like it was so deep that one couldn’t see the end.
That mirror seemed to slowly float up from the clear lake as it gradually approached and reflected one’s figure.
Chu Liuyue looked over.
There was a tall figure in the mirror—it was Rong Xiu, but it did not seem like him. That was because although the person in the middle had the exact same appearance and figure as Rong Xiu, he wore a black robe.
They clearly had the same five features, yet they had completely different expressions and aura.
Icy coldness and imperiousness!
With just one glance, that invisible suppression was suffocating!
Chu Liuyue was dazed and found him unfamiliar, yet she still had a strange sense of familiarity.
Splash—
That gigantic mirror suddenly broke! The figure inside disappeared as well.
Chu Liuyue instinctively looked at Rong Xiu. He must have seen the previous scene.
However, Rong Xiu looked calm and composed, and the side of his face was perfect with smooth lines.
There were no ripples in his expression. It was as if he did not see the previous scene, or… he saw it and did not care?
Chu Liuyue was about to ask him in detail when she suddenly felt a gush of strong force rushing in from outside the realm gate!
Rong Xiu knitted his brows slightly and took her into his arms! Then, the two of them fell into a thick and intense darkness!
“Master!”
“Your Highness!”
Cen Yi, Lin Zhifei, and the others’ voices came, but they seemed especially distant.
Chu Liuyue could only hear the howls of the wind from the borderless darkness constantly scraping past her ears.
The violent energies intertwined and attacked each other in the surroundings, as it took the duo’s bodies and brought them to an unknown location!
…
Such a journey did not continue for long.
Besides, Chu Liuyue was held by Rong Xiu tightly in his arms. With his protection, she was not hurt.
After about an hour, a ray of bright heavenly light finally tore through the intense darkness!
The strong and blinding light came from the front.
Chu Liuyue turned her face slightly and squinted.
Rong Xiu hugged her with one arm and covered her eyes with the other.
The both of them landed.
When her feet landed on the solid ground, the unstable and floating feeling in Chu Liuyue’s heart finally dissipated.
At this point, her eyes had already adjusted to the surrounding light. She held Rong Xiu’s hands and looked up at the surroundings.
When she saw the surrounding scenery clearly, she was first stunned and later furrowed her brows slightly.
An ancient and tremendous city lake was right in front.
The tall and solemn city gate area had many people coming in and out—it looked very crowded. Behind them, there were many mountains and lush greenery.
To Chu Liuyue, this was a completely unfamiliar place.
“This is…” Chu Liuyue knitted her brows even more tightly. Why did we arrive here when we passed through the realm gate?
“The forces in the realm gate were strong and caused the air to shake. We were probably sent here by the turbulence,” said Rong Xiu nonchalantly, as he surveyed his surroundings and rapidly observed everything.
Chu Liuyue nodded. This is also the most logical explanation. Except…
“Cen Yi, Lin Zhifei, and the rest did not seem to follow us.”
Previously, she had already checked that their auras weren’t in the surroundings. But upon deeper thought, this was very normal. After all, the accident happened too suddenly.
At that time, she was still thinking about Rong Xiu’s figure that was reflected in the mirror and did not react in time. If it weren’t for Rong Xiu being quick, she would probably also be separated from Rong Xiu.
“Whatever will come will come. Don’t worry too much. Let’s go into the city and take a look,” Rong Xiu said.
Chu Liuyue sighed lightly and nodded in agreement. We have to first find out where we are before we can decide on what to do next.
She was about to walk forward when Rong Xiu suddenly pulled her back. “Don’t move first.”
“What’s the matter?” Chu Liuyue was dazed.
The corner of Rong Xiu’s lips curled up. “Do you really want to go over like this?”
Realization dawned on Chu Liuyue.
The duo’s current appearance was rather eye-catching. The front was filled with unknowns, so it was better to be meticulous.
Fifteen minutes later, the duo were done with their disguises and had completely changed their appearances.
They looked normal with ordinary clothes. At first glance, they seemed unassuming.
Luckily, nobody seemed to walk past the part of the forest they were in, so their actions were also very discreet.
After confirming that they were done disguising, the two of them exchanged glances before holding hands and walking toward the city.
…
The closer they were, the more people there were in the surroundings, and the livelier the atmosphere.
As Chu Liuyue walked, she silently surveyed her surroundings and realized that most people were going toward the city, and they were basically all very young.
The majority of them were in their teens and twenties, and only very few of them looked like they were in their thirties.
Those people’s faces had unconcealable expectations and excitement. It seemed like the city had something filled with temptation that was waiting for them.
Chu Liuyue suddenly felt that this scene was rather familiar.
“Does it look like Fangzhou City?” Rong Xiu’s voice suddenly softly landed in her ears.
Chu Liuyue looked up and met his gazed.
She was instantly enlightened. Yeah! This does seem like Fangzhou City.
Inside Fangzhou City, there were also many young and lively faces. However, that was because Fangzhou City was right beside Ling Xiao Academy.
The reason why those people were excited was that they were looking forward to Ling Xiao Academy.
This city lake doesn’t look special… Why is it also the same scenario?
“These people seem rather talented.” Chu Liuyue looked on for a while and could not help but feel strange when she discovered this.
This was outside the God Residence Realm. Logically speaking, the cultivators’ overall talent and standard should be lower than those inside the God Residence Realm.
However, all the young people they walked past had outstanding talent and capabilities. The closer they were to the city gate, the stronger such a feeling.
Chu Liuyue became increasingly confused. Even in the Tianling Dynasty’s Imperial City, there might not be so many potential geniuses!
When they reached the city gate, the two of them stopped.
Chu Liuyue looked up.
A word was engraved on the city gate: Yunzhou.
The handwriting was intense and deep into the wood, as if it contained a shocking aura.
Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. This city should logically be famous to some extent. However, I have never heard of it before.
She glanced at Rong Xiu.
Rong Xiu lightly shook his head.
Cleary, he had not heard it before as well.
Chu Liuyue gazed around her surroundings and softly muttered, “There’s actually nobody in charge of guarding this city…”
Everyone entered and left freely.
“Hahaha! Ever since the day it appeared, nobody has guarded this Yunzhou. The two of you are already here, yet you know nothing about this?” A young voice came from behind.
Chu Liuyue turned around and saw a few young men and women standing behind them.
The one talking was the young man standing at the front.
